This is called an inhibitor or negative catalyst
The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst
to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
Adding water can potentially slow down a chemical reaction if it dilutes the reactants, leading to lower concentrations and reducing the frequency of molecule collisions. However, in some cases, water can also act as a solvent or a reactant, depending on the specific reaction.
A substance by itself will not slow down a chemical reaction; factors require change, such as cooling the reactants or lowering the concentration, to do so. Adding another chemical or substance that happens to slow a reaction often does so by actually interfering with the reaction and replacing or preventing it outright, and there is not a name for chemicals that do this -?inhibitor?-, since a chemical may do this to one reaction, but be a catalyst to another.Added:decrease surface area/ remove catalyst/ decrease temperature/ decrease concentration/ add inhibitor/ dilute reactants/ separate reactants/

This class of compounds/elements are called inhibitors.

No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.
To slow down a chemical reaction, you can add a substance that acts as an inhibitor or a catalyst that competes for the reacting molecules. Also, lowering the temperature or decreasing the concentration of the reactants can help slow down the reaction.

Heat would speed up the reaction, while cold would slow the reaction.

This is called a catalyst. In biology, it is referred to as an enzyme (biological catalyst). Catalysts can also be used to speed up or slow down chemical reactions.
The concentration of reactants is lowered.
by using an inhibitor or poisoning the chemical reaction
